Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line 2x-3y=9 and passes through the point (4,-1)

Answer:

y = -3/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the slope

2x - 3y = 9

2x - 9 = 3y

Make y the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by 3

(2x - 9)/3 = 3y/3

( 2x - 9)/3 = y

y = 2x/3 - 9/3

y = 2x/3 - 3

m = 2x/3

Note: if two lines are perpendicular to the other, both lines are negative reciprocal of each other

m = -3/2x

Step 2 : using the point slope equation

y - y1 = m( x - x1)

( 4 , -1)

x1 = 4

y1 = -1

y -(-1) = m( x - 4)

y + 1 = -3/2( x - 4)

y + 1 = (-3x + 12)/2

y = (-3x + 12)/2 - 1

LCM = 2

y = (-3x + 12 - 2)/2

y = ( -3x + 10)/2

y = -3x/2 + 10/2

y = -3x/2 + 5

The equation of the line is

y = -3/2x + 5

Answer:

y = ⅓x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find m.

m = y/x

Using the point on the line, (3, 1),

m = ⅓

Substitute m = ⅓ into y = mx

This, the equation that describes the relationship would be:

y = ⅓x

21 = 2x + 5

---> 21 - 5 = 2x

----> 16 = 2x

-----> x = 8

Seven times the smaller
Taya2010 [7]

Given:

Seven times the smaller  of two consecutive even  integers  is the same as  -300 minus 4 times the  larger integer.

To find:

The integers .

Solution:

Let the smaller even integer be x.

So, larger even integer is x+2 because they are consecutive even  integers.

Seven times the smaller  integer = 7x

-300 minus 4 times the  larger integer = -300-4(x+2)

Now,

7x=-300-4(x+2)

7x=-300-4x-8

7x+4x=-308

11x=-308

Divide both sides by 11.

x=\dfrac{-308}{11}

x=-28

So, the smaller even integer is -28.

x+2=-28+2=-26

So, the larger even integer is -26.
